Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEETl.Text 1It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her veryfirst job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before shecould get on one going to the sixth floor. When shefinally reached the office marked "Smith Enter-prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the dooragain, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound ofvoices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she hadthe interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an officeat all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room,somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter asshe came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he livedin Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9：35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.46. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _ .[A] it was her first day in a new job[B] she was a little bit late for work[C] she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place[D] there was no answer from inside the office47. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as .[A] she had been there only once[B] Mr. Smith was not in the office[C] nobody was doing any work[D] the office had a new appearance48. The people in the office suddenly started working because .[A] they saw a stranger in the office[B] their morning break was ended[C] no one wanted to talk to Marie[D] the boss was about to arrive49. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise . .[A] would start their work by listening to a joke[B] were cold to newcomers[C] were always punctual for work[D] lacked devotion to the company50. The best title for this text would be. .[A] Punctual Like a Clock[B] A Cold Welcome[C] An Unpunctual Manager[D] Better Late Than Never。

全国英语等级考试pets三级真题及答案SECTION III Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Dilrections:Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on eachtext by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Sometime in the middle of the 15th century, a well-to-do merchant from London buried more than 6,700 gold and silver coins on a sloping, hillside in Surrey. He was fleeing the War of the Ro-ses and planned to return during better times. But he never did. The coins lay undisturbed until one September evening in 1990, when local resident Roger Mintey chanced upon them with a metal de-tector, a device used to determine the presence of metals. Mintey's find much of.which now sitsin the British Museum-earned him roughly $350,000, enough to quit hisjob with a small manu- facturer and spend more time pursuing lost treasure.But digging up the past is controversial in Britain. In many European countries, metal detecto- fists, or people using metal detectors, face tough regulations. In the U. K., however, officials in- troduced a scheme in 1997 encouraging hobbyists to report their discoveries (except for those fall- ing under the definition of treasure, like Mintey's find, which they are required to report)--but al- lowing them to keep what they find, or receive a reward. Last year, a hidden store was uncoveredin a field outside Birmingham. It consists of more than 1,500 gold and silver objects from the sev- enth century and was valued at more than $4.5 million. While local museums hurry to raise enough money to keep the find off the open market, it sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but fa- cing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who found it.The find marks the latest battleground in the increasinglyheated conflict between the country's 10,000-20,000 metal detectoristsand the museum workers determined to protect its precious old objects. Supporters say the scheme stems the loss of valuable information about precious old ob-jects, while opponents argue that metal detectorists don't report everything.The debate centers on the larger question of who owns the past. "There's been a slow move over the centuries that precious old things belong to us all," says Professor Christopher Chippindale of Cambridge University. But in Britain at least, the temptation of buried treasure could change all that.46. According to the first paragraph, the coins in Surrey wereA. worth roughly $350,000B. possessed by a local residentC. unearthed about 500 years agoD. left by a merchant during a war47. What do we know about Roger Mintey?A. He produces metal detectors.B. He owns a manufacturing firm.C. He works for the British Museum.D. He seeks buried treasure as a hobby.48. In the U. K., metal detectoristsA. are rewarded for whatever they findB. are forced to obey tough regulationsC. may keep what they have discoveredD. should report whatever they discover49. As for the find outside Birmingham, it is still unclearA. how much it is worthB. how it was discoveredC. who is entitled to itD. what it is made up of50. According to Professor Christopher Chippindale, buried treasureA. is owned by the publicB. is debated in a heated wayC. remains a big temptationD. turns precious over time参考答案Part AText 1在15世纪中期，一位来自伦敦的富有商人将6700多枚金币和银币埋藏在萨里的一座倾斜的山坡里。

公共英语三级（PETS3）模拟真题试卷附答案（2）2016年公共英语三级(PETS3)模拟真题试卷（附答案）[D]all of the aboveText 3Fishing adds only about one percent to the global economy, but on a regional basis it can contribute extremely to human survival. Marine fisheries contribute more t the world’s supply of protein than beef, poultry or any other animal source.Fishing typically does not need land ownership, and because it remains, generally, open to all, itis often the employer of last resort in the developing world an occupation when there are no otherchoices. Worldwide, about 200 million people rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Within Southeast Asia alone, over five million people fish full time. In northern Chile forty percent of the populationlives off the ocean. In Newfoundland most employment came from fishing or servicing that indus-try--until the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990s that left tens of thousands of people outof work.Though debates over the conservation of natural resources are often cast as a conflict betweenjobs and the environment ,the restoration of fish populations would i fact boost employment. MichaelP. Sissenwine and Andrew A. Rosenberg of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service have esti-mated that if depleted species were allowed to rebuild to their long term potential, their sustainable use would add about $8 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product and provide about 300,000 jobs. Iffish poupulations were restored and properly managed, about twenty million metric tons could be added to: the world’s annual catch. But restoration of ecological balance, fiscalprofitability (收益) andeconomic security will require a continual reduction in the capacity of the commercial fishing industryso that wild populations can recover.The necessary reductions in fishing workforce need not come at the expense of jobs. Governments could increase employment and reduce the pressure on fish populations by guiding subsidies away from highly mechanised ships. For each $1,000,000 of investment, industrial scale fishing operations require only one to five people, while small scale fisheries would employ between 60 and 3,000. Industrial fishing itself threatens tens of millions of fishermen working on a small scale by depleting the fish on which they depend for subsistence.56. The animal source which provides the most protein for human being is________[A]beef[B]fish[C]pork[D]chicken57. Paragraph 2 indicates that________[A]most of man’s employment is from fishing[B]man can always turn to fishing for employment[C]forty percent of Chileans live on fishing boats or ships[D]fishing has been the biggest industry in Newfoundland58. In the conflict between jobs and the environment,the author takes sides with those who are in favour of________[A]increasing the annual catch[B]creating more jobs[C]getting greater fiscal profitability[D]conserving natural resources59. The balance between jobs and the environment can bekept if____[A]fishing capacity is further increased[B]fishing jobs are further increased[C]fewer well-equipped fishing ships are used[D]fewer species are allowed to rebuild60. The passage suggests that making less use of modern technology may________[A]reduce pressure on fish populations[B]threaten the world’s annual catch[C]increase government's investment[D]cost tens of thousands of fishermen’s jobsPaula:The furore is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the fu-ture begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not somethingimposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future boththrough what we do and what we do not do.Mrs. John:The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict theirperformance from the strength of the brain’s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that thestrength of the brain’s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses couldmeasure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard,or too tired to do the job properly.Mary:In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart issaid to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of thischemical ge-latin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the ap-petite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.Judy:In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play animportant part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen andvisual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results whichwill affect you if you act in a certain way.Carrie:In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Alsodoctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doingmore exercise as a means to keep fit.Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61.

2020 年全国公共英语等级考试PETS 三级模拟试题TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking,cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are menand women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by thedifference between mountaineering and other forms ofactivities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golfand football. There are, of course, rules of different kindswhich it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom fromman-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports,we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering isnot a “team work ” . However, it is only ourmisunderstanding. There are, in fact, no ：matches” 37“teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock facelinked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously,there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fightwith natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man.His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climbthe highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26.[A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of27.[A]looked up to [B]looked forward [C]looked into [D] looked upon28.[A]willing [B]reluctant [C]unwilling [D] probable29.[A]take pains [B]run risk [C] take a risk [D] make efforts30.[A]to [B]with [C]for [D]towards31.[A]so [B] various [C] different [D]such32.[A] apply [B] worry [C] ignore [D] notice33.[A] which [B] that [C] how [D] why34.[A] methods [B] forms [C] rules [D] activities35.[A] correlate [B] relate [C] compare [D] contrast36.[A] for [B] what [C] which [D] that37.[A]within [B]from [C]beyond [D]between38.[A]exist [B]go [C]depend [D]confide39.[A]strength [B]storms [C]powers [D]forces40.[A]physician [B]physical[C]physiological [D]psychological41.[A]tries [B]continues [C]wants [D]decides42.[A]will be [B]appear [C]are [D]is43.[A]unusual [B]normal [C]common [D]strange44.[A]strength [B]efforts [C]energy [D]time45.[A]shortage [B]lack [C]rubbish [D]wasteSection Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Part ADirections：Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which wasa temple to me then. It wasn ’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senioreditor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck withit. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered myboss’s office. Would he rage? I wonde red. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk, ” I began awkwardly.“I came to the Globe when I was twenty - four. Now I ’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I ’m resigning. ” “To another paper? ” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, butdidn ’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new mediacompany. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wantedto be directly engaged in the change. “I ’m glad for you, ”he said, quite ou t of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much ofit we can ’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world, ” he concluded. “And if it doesn ’t work out, remember, your star is always high here. ”Then I went out of his office, walking through thenewsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody—even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture ： all the financial security I hadcarefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman andpublisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into abillion- dollar property.“I’m resigning, Bill,”I said. He listened while I gave him the st ory. He wasn ’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said,“Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46.From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous_______.[A]newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47.If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in apublishing house.49.When the writer decided to resign the Globe wasfaced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By“：I wish I were in your shoes. ”(in the last paragraph) Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up inthe morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved thateveryone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work youmay say that you ’re “hot ”. That ’s true. The time of daywhen you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comesduring the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads’ll be to such familiar monologues as ：“Get up, Peter! You latefor work again! ” The possible explanation to thetrouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peakin the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbandsand wives realize what these energy cycles mean, andwhich cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn tomake your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you ’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay uplate anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. Ifyour energy is low in the morning, but you have an importantto do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. Thiswon’t change your cycle, but you ’ll get up steam and workbetter at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51.If a person finds getting up early a problem,most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C]he is not sure when his energy is low.[D]he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52.Which of the following may lead to familyquarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D]Attempts to control the energy cycle of otherfamily members.53.If one wants to work efficiently at his low pointin the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54.You are advised to rise with a yawn andstretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B]help you to control your temper early in the day[C]enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D]keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A]Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B]Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C]Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D]Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution,the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings inrural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the veryclimate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning offossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect ”—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view iscorrect and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities suchas New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditionswill happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible) Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment causedby the“advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56.As pointed out at the beginning of the passage,people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the UnitedStates[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soonbe58. The word“offset” in the second paragraph couldreplaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degreeswould not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a fewdegrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C]almost no temperature variations have occurredover the past decade.[D]the world's temperature will remain constant in theyears to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect ⋯⋯[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels ⋯⋯[C]the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BDirections：Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C ) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; Ican maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that Iwas in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! Peoplesay all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't.It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get onit. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting.Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realizethe danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietarychanges in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note： there are two extra statements.Statements61.Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62.Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63.Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64.Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65.Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.Suppose you have got the news that the university of Science and Technology of China is offering a scholarship for chemistry majors and that you have just received an MS degree in chemistry and are eager to have a personal interview with Dr. Wu Han wei , the Chairman.

Then about 3months later, we traveled to New York. As we were waiting for our plane in the airport, I looked out of a huge window. At that very moment, I saw the largest truck in the world. I had totell someone about this. I turned my father, who was standing to next about a thousand people waiting for flight, and screamed "Truck ! Truck !"

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular.“123456” or "12345"are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers(and hackers) create dictionaries which list com- mon passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small sam- ples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date—70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games."Nag screens" that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.' And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it's time for users to consider the altenatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out2017年3月笔试真卷第6页(共12页)[C] random numbers [D] popular names27.Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to[A] lack of research tools [B] lack of research funds[C] limited time of studies [D] limited size of samples28. It is indicated in the text that[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C} nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe29. The underlined word"compromise"in Para.5 most probably means[A] comprise [B] compensate[C] endanger [D] encounter30. The last paragraph of the text suggests that[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C] big websites limit the number of guesses[D] big websites offer users convenient accessText2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain's heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones' foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them,says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historie remains,which were disappearing fast. Threats also in- cluded farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain's largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved."Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,"says Glancey."At the time places like Stonchenge were just sen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.""Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history."2017年3月笔试真卷第7页(共12页)But Lubbock couldn't buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed govemment powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain's heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because[A] rats weakened its foundation [B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it [D] visitors chipped pieces off it33.Lubbock proposed a bill to[A] push people to learn history [B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection [D] push visitors to behave properly34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882,it had been made less[A] severe [B] biased[C] implicit [D] complex35. This text is mainly about[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments BillPart BDirections:Read the texis from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 -40,match the name of each person to one of the state. ments(A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy:As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don't think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it's really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.2017年3月笔试真卷第8页(共12页)Anna;My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings.and celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth:There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later 、my own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creep- ing in.Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and hope that she enjoys her life.RuthI think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a news- paper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person(36-40) to the appropriate statement.Note; there are nwo extra statements.Statements36.Lucy37.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing "Sunshine on My Shoulders," I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and outdoors I've had for decades as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. 4]Studics have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun expo- sure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun's rays. 42 Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to berter heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.43 Research on 280 volunteers there found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. 44 Although"earthing" or "grounding" is con- sidered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to re- duce heart discasc risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches.45 A 2011 British review of 11 studies found that people who exercised outside generally reported morc energy and less anger, tension, and depression—all factors contributing to heart attack—than those who worked out indoors.「A] Exercising indoors is another option.[B] It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks.C1Excrcising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors.[D] In Japan, walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice.[E] Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health.[F] As a doctor, I can tell you they are also very good for your heart.[G]You'll get greater health benefits exercising where it's green.Part DDirections:Read the following text from which 10 words harve been removed.

Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line, expec- ting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running,Lee didn't realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Tuming to another runner,she asked how much further."That's when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,"Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn't among the runners crossing the 5k finish line, her mom alerted race of- ficials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn't quit. She needed to fin- ish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line,after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy."I see her with a medal and I thought,'Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real,'" she said."She decided to just keep running and not give up." "I'm really proud," said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.THAT IS THE END OF THE TEST.2017年3月笔试真卷第12页(共12页)参考答案及精析第一部分听力1-5 BACDA 6- 10 BCDDB II- 15 CDBBA 16-20 CDCCD21-25 ABAAD听力眼分录音材料Purt A1.M:Hey,Shelly, I am going to get some chips and water, what aan I getfor you?W;Well, I don't roaly nesd anything, maybe just a eoke, bet huny up, the movie will start soon.M: Dun't wory, I'll be righ back.2.

Now we know 29 to tell him: it’s her brain.Although there are obviously cultural 30 for the differences in emotions andbehavior, 31 breakthrough research reveals that the 32 of many puzzling differences between men and women may 33 in the head. Men’s and women’s brains 34 much in common, but they are definitely not the same 35 size, structure or insight. Broadly speaking, a woman’s brain, like her body, is ten to fifteen per cent smaller than a man’s, 36 the regions dedicated to language may be more densely 37 with brain cells.Girls generally speak earlier and read faster. The reason may be 38 females use both sides of the brain when they read.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.As I was searching for “angel money”,I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn’t have money for paychecks yet.Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.We had some really good people, but we still didn’t have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.Louise was brilliant and missednothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You’ 11 do well. You’re going to work hard for it, but it’ s satisfying when you build your own company.”Who would have thought I’d find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.[ A ] the salary it pays to its staff[ B ] the interest it pays to the bank[ C ] the way in which it raises capital[ D ] the speed at which it spends money47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.[ A ] the money borrowed from banks[ B ] the money spent to promote sales[ C ] the money raised from close friends[ D ] the money needed to start a business48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.[ A ] put up with unfair terms[ B ] change your business line[ C ] enlarge your business scope[ D ] let them operate your business49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________.[ A ] they were underpaid at theirprevious jobs[ B ] they were turned down by other companies[ C ] they were confident of the author and his business[ D ] they were satisfied with the salaries in his company50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.[ A ] she wanted to join his company[ B ] she knew he would build a team[ C ] she knew his plan would succeed[ D ] she wanted to help promote his salesText 2Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element--some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check theaverage number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a pub-lic clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter ( if you are reading a novel) or every section or group of ten or twelve pages ( if it is a text-book) and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If youfind you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a ‘lightning speed’ reading through (probably 600 w. p. m. ) you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased-perhaps. by as much as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.51. According to the passage, a “pacing” device_________.[ A ]is used to time student’ s reading speed[ B ]is. not used in most, speed reading courses[ C ] is used as .an aid to vocabulary learning[ D ] should be used whenever we read alone52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________.[ A ] avoids the need for reading faster[ B ] is not the same as pacing[ C ] may seem unworkable at first[ D ] helps you to remember your page number53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______.[ A ] every chapter[ B ] every section[ C ] every four or five pages[ D ] every ten or twelve pages54. The purpose of the “lightningspeed” exercise is to_________.[ A ] increase your speed by scanning the text first[ B ] test your maximum reading speed[ C ] help you understand more of the content of the book[ D ] enable you to win reading races against your friends55. The best title for this passage wouldbe_________.[ A ] Hints for Successful Reading[ B ] Hints for Speed Reading[ C ] Effective Reading[ D ] Lightning Speed ExercisesText 3There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree: men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds. It continues through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant acrosscultures. And there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone.If there’s a feminine trait that’s the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it’s what social scien-tists awkwardly refer to as "nurturance". Feminists have argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them in the home. But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numerous to ignore. Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others. And grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions: A recent study by University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ru-ben Gur showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only suche-motion men could pick up was disgust.What difference do such differences make in the real world? Among other things, women appear to be somewhat less competitive--or at least competitive in different ways--than men. At the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don’ t qualify for the prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials attribute to women’ s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere.Students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. But an analysis by Purdue social psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent difference: Men tend to be more“autocratic”-making decisions on their own--while women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically domi-nate the discussion, says University of Toronto psychologist Kenneth Dion, spending more time talking and less time listening.56. The passage mainly discusses__________.[ A ] how sex differences are demonstrated in social relations[ B ] how hormone determines sex differences[ C ] why there are differences between males and females[ D ] why men and women have different social roles57. Which of the following is true of wome n’s nurturing nature according to the passage?[ A ] It is not inborn in any sense.[ B ] It is inspired by women’ s families.[ C ] It is caused by social prejudice.[ D ] It is partly biological in origin.58. The Harvard Law School example in paragraph 3 suggests that_________.[ A ] women are not as competitive as men[ B ] law is not the fight profession for women[ C ] women are as excellent as men when they are young[ D ] academic credentials are disproportionate to performance59. Which of the following statement is tree according to paragraph 4?[ A ] Men leaders should consult colleagues and subordinates more often.[ B ] Female leaders’ success is due to their imitating male leaders.[ C ] Men and women are different in their leadership style.[ D ] Decisiveness is an important quality for a successful politician.60. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer_________.[ A ] denies the difference sexes make in real life[ B ] is prejudiced against men[ C ] discourages women to be competitive[ D ] treats sex difference objectivelyPart BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about energy and making use of it. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.Jackson:Viewed from a scientist’s standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel either now or in the future becomes heat. Some ofthe heat is used directly or produces useful work. The rest is lost or rejected. That is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery that makes our wheels go around.Browning:It is necessary to improve the efficiency with. which we use energy in order to do more work. But improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help. According to the Center for Strategic and International studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work.Jeffrey:In terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using en-ergy more efficiently thanprivate automobiles. Unless private automobiles can operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. For example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passenger-miles per gallon of gasoline. But buses are not al-ways fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all.Vandenberg:It is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. City trains seem to be very effi-cient, but they suffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. Except for rush hours, com-muter trains seldom run at full capacity. This wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford. As a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people.Nathan:For some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. For others, acombination of mass transportation and private transportation may be preferable. Better design and wise use of both mass transportation systems and private vehicles will play an important part in helping us make full-er use of energy for transportation.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Jackson [ A ] City trains and buses have different faults to overcome.62. Browning [ B ] The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.63. Jeffrey [ C ] Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.64. Vandenberg [ D ] Private cars usually run at full capacity.65. Nathan [ E ] No fuel energy is fully used.[ F ] A combined means of transportcan help increase energy efficiency.[ G ] Problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.SECTION IV Writing(40 minutes)Directions:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66. You have read the job advertisement below in a newspaper and you want to apply for the job. Write a letter of application to the manager of the company, Mr. Meed, giving all the necessary personal information. You should write approximately 100 words.Do not sign your own name at the end of your le tter. Use “Wang Lin” instead. You do not need to write the address.Part B67. Here is a picture of a traffic accident caused by a man crossing the street in a hurry.Write an essay of approximately 120 words describing the accident and giving your comment on it.THIS IS THE END OF THE TEST.第一部分听力1～25略第二部分英语知识运用参考译文结婚二十多年后，一个丈夫可能依然不能理解她的妻子. 她怎么能从来不会语塞呢?她是如何记得数年前度假时遇到的夫妻的名字的?现在我们知道该怎么告诉她了：那是因为她的大脑.尽管情绪和行为上的差异明显有文化上的原因，但最近有一项重大突破性的研究表明男女间令人迷惑的差异可能源于大脑. 男性和女性的大脑大部分都一样，可是她们大脑的大小、结构和观察力绝对不一样.大致上说，女人的大脑，就像她们的身体一样，比男人的大脑小10％-15％．因此她们大脑里用于语言的区域里脑细胞要比男人的密集.女孩子一般说话比较早，读书比较快. 原因可能在于女性在阅读的时候左右脑都用上了. 相反，男人在阅读的时候只用左脑.在任何年龄女人的记忆力都比男人好. 她们将名字与人物对应起来的能力比男人强，而且她们记清单的能力也比男人强. 人们所记的最清楚的事件是与情感联系在一起的. 因为女人用产生情绪的右脑比男人用的多，因此她们会自动记忆。
